When we walked into the restaurant, my hopes for delicious food were elevated because the scent of delicious Chinese food filled the air!
We sat down, we were served some tea, and not too long after, a sweet woman came by to take our order.
My heart was set on orange chicken, which was not on the menu. I decided to ask anyway, and she happily responded "we'll make it...just for you!"
I really really really wanted to like the food here, but I didn't. To be fair, I am partial to another Valley restaurant to satiate my Chinese food cravings.
The food lacked flavor and didn't have that "authentic" feel to it. I mean, I've never been to China personally, but I'd imagine there would be more flavor involved in the dishes.
The only reason I rated this place so high is because of the service. Everyone that we interacted with was just so nice and funny. One of the gentlemen there made some jokes, wished us a merry Christmas, and gave us candy canes. Super sweet! Good customer service is very important to me and will make or break a place for me.
Bottom line - you know that sweet auntie or cousin you have that loves to entertain and cook dinners for you, but you don't have the heart to tell them you don't like their cooking? That's what this place reminds me of.
